About Avril
Avril Bastiansz is a Holistic & Spiritual Counsellor, Psychotherapist, Nutritionist, and Yoga & Meditation Teacher, with over a decade of experience working with women.
She is the founder of Shakti Yoga and Meditation School, the creator of Become You, and runs the Renaissance Woman’s Circle.
At the heart of Avril’s work is helping people return to themselves—to recognise their authentic, essential nature and reconnect with their own wisdom and power. Her perspective honours the whole person, body, mind and soul, supporting a deeper understanding of who they are and how they wish to live.
Through Holistic & Spiritual Counselling, Avril explores emotional and physical wellbeing alongside deeper questions of meaning, purpose and connection. She supports women who may be feeling emotionally burnt out, anxious or overwhelmed, navigating change, or sensing that something needs to shift. Drawing on Counselling, Psychotherapy, Nutrition, Yoga Psychology, Meditation and spiritual practice, she helps clients make sense of their experiences and find practical ways forward. This exploration is guided by each person’s own beliefs and understanding.
Avril also offers Shakti Mantra—Vedic Meditation Initiation through personalised one-to-one instruction. This mantra-based practice is learnt with personal guidance and practised sitting comfortably with the eyes closed. No previous Meditation experience is needed. Avril supports each person to learn the technique and establish a regular practice, creating space for deep rest and reconnection in everyday life.

“I have also met with Avril for a personal one-on-one wellness consultation. Avril was able to provide me with a way forward to deal with a recent health issue, working in alignment with treatment suggested by my mainstream healthcare provider – a truly holistic approach. I would wholeheartedly – and without hesitation – recommend Avril and any one of the wellness programs that she offers. She is able to offer an authentic approach that combines both western scientific knowledge with the teachings of ancient yogic philosophies and all delivered in her characteristic thoughtful and patient, yet cheeky and fun-loving, style”. – G. Richards
